About
Join cookbook author and mole master Gino Garcia and make one of the most popular mole versions from Oaxaca – Mole Coloradito. Enjoy it with a full feast alongside chicken, beans, rice, and corn tortillas.
We will work in groups to tackle one of the more complex dishes in Mexican gastronomy, Mole Coloradito, which features over 25 ingredients. Through this process, learn about the cooking techniques that go into this iconic dish and how they can be applied to make nearly any Mexican mole.
Mole as a food category tells an incredibly rich, complicated, and delicious story about Mexican gastronomy over many centuries, the social, cultural, and political influences that went into making it known as one of Mexico’s most recognizable dishes.
I have taught classes on moles from around Mexico. Together we will break down this complex dish into easily understandable steps. .
On the menu:
Mole Coloradito alongside braised chicken. Students will shape and cook their own corn tortillas to sop up every last drop of mole on their plates. Gino will prepare Arroz Rojo and Frijoles de Olla ahead of time, so that students have the traditional side dishes that make mole a complete meal.
